Best Online CrossFit Courses

by | Jan 22, 2020

Looking at it quite honestly, 2019 was the year of the ultimate fit body! 6 packs (and even 8 and 12!) emerged faster on our Insta feeds than you could say “fitness” and being fit suddenly became a very, very lucrative livelihood. (Look at Michelle Lewin!). However, just because fitness hit a new high seemingly overnight, there are no shortcuts to being fit and having the kind of healthy body you want. Yes, all those videos of people doing 100 push-ups and 20-second handstands may leave you amazed, but a lot of blood, sweat, toil and hours goes into these things! You could try yoga, but maybe you’re looking to take it up a level and experience Crossfit.

Diving entirely into fitness will, honestly, take more than an online CrossFit course; however, if you’re looking to get started on your CrossFit journey or want to supplement your regular workouts, maybe think about starting to teach CrossFit. These courses are sure to help you out! Here’s a review of our top online CrossFit courses.
